Hebrews 3:14 ESV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

Here the apostle proceeds in pressing upon them serious counsels and cautions to the close of the chapter; and he recites a passage out of Ps. 95:7; where observe, I. What he counsels them to do?to give a speedy and present attention to the call of Christ. ?Hear his voice, assent to, approve of, and consider, what God in Christ speaks unto you; apply it to yourselves with suitable affections and endeavours, and set about it this very day, for to-morrow it may be too late.? II. What he cautions... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 3:7-19

3:7-19 So then, as the Holy Spirit says, "If today you will hear my voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the Provocation, as happened on the day of the Temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tried to test me, and, in consequence, experienced for forty years what I could do. So my anger was kindled against that generation, and I said, 'Always they wander in their hearts; they do not know my ways.' So I swore in my anger, 'Very certainly they shall not enter in to my rest.'" Have a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 3:14

For we are made partakers of Christ ,.... Being loved by him, given to him, and chosen in him before the foundation of the world; and so participate of all spiritual blessings in him; for this respects something past, and may be rendered, "we have been made". The phrase is expressive of union to Christ, which is not by faith on man's part, and by the Spirit on Christ's part, but by his everlasting love, taking his people into an oneness with himself; thereby becoming their head, surety, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:14

For we are made partakers of Christ - Having believed in Christ as the promised Messiah, and embraced the whole Christian system, they were consequently made partakers of all its benefits in this life, and entitled to the fulfillment of all its exceeding great and precious promises relative to the glories of the eternal world. The former they actually possessed, the latter they could have only in case of their perseverance; therefore the apostle says, If we hold fast the beginning of our... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 3:14

Verse 14 14.For we are made partakers, etc. He commends them for having begun well; but lest, under the pretext of the grace which they had obtained, they should indulge themselves in carnal security, he says that there was need of perseverance; for many having only tasted the Gospel, do not think of any progress as though they had reached the summit. Thus it is that they not only stop in the middle of their race, yea, nigh the startingposts, but turn another way. Plausible indeed is this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

Beware of unbelief. Eminent and honored though Moses had been, the generation of Hebrews whom he led out of Egypt became unbelieving and disobedient, and were in consequence overtaken by a dreadful doom. So the writer of this Epistle, realizing the strong temptations to relapse into Judaism which beset the Hebrew Christians, warns them against the still more dreadful consequences of apostasy from discipleship to Jesus Christ. I. A BESETTING SPIRITUAL DANGER . It is that of losing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:7-19

The comparison of Christ and Moses suggests the possibility of apostasy from Christ. As Christ and Moses occupied similar positions as leaders of the household of God, and Israel was faithless under the leadership of Moses, and came to ruin as the result, so it is possible that, under the leadership of Christ, there may be the same infidelity and the same bitter end. I. THE FEAR OF APOSTASY FROM CHRIST . This solemn exhortation is written to professing Christians; and such... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:12-14

There is here asserted the need of mutual exhortation to avoid unbelief and follow Christ fully. Apart from the labors of the ministers of the gospel, who were to teach that Christ was" the same yesterday, and today, and for ever," there was to be brotherly love among Christians, who were affectionately to warn each other against the evils of departing from the truths and profession of the gospel. Their counsel was to be directed to the state of the heart, which if unbelieving was an "evil... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 3:14

For we are become partakers (or, partners ) of Christ, if only we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end . This is a repetition in another form of the assertion of our position as Christians, with the appended condition, in Hebrews 3:6 . It is a question whether μέτοχοι χριστοῦ means that we partake of Christ as being in communion with him, or that we are partakers with him of the glory he has won for us (cf. συγκληρονόμοι χριστοῦ , Romans 8:17 ... read more
